2026 Draft - Raiders & all teams (April 23-25)

[RaiderFan1]

Obvious Mendoza #1 no consideration of trading that pick.
But who you got picks 2 - 4 thats going to help Mendoza.

#2 Raiders should be able to select WR Chris Bell or WR KC Concepcion with our early 2nd.

#3 I forget who it was, but someone here mentioned that the best pure dominant RT coming out of college could be got in the 3rd. And stated hes played his whole career at RT, and not being moved around the line.

Sounds like solid gets

Id hope the rest of the draft is building the trenches, with maybe 1 DB in there

Who else you like ?

[KillerRaider30]

Its out of the box but im digging this edge rusher.
Between Crosbys age/health and both Koonce and Tyree on 1 year deals...hmm
They never draft in the direction I assume they will so it wouldn't suprise me.
Check this kid out. Big motor.

Big boy…

Another player I’ve become a big fan of in this draft, LB Kyle Louis. Undersized at 6’1” 220lbs but, man is he a ball hawking heat seeking missile to the ball. High IQ &, leader type. This is the type of player the Raiders LB’ing corp still needs (good coverage LB). Quay so far has not developed in that area at all since being drafted so, a great coverage LB is needed to at least rotate in. I think he’d earn lots more snaps in time too. Obviously a weakness would be his size &, get lost in crowds but, he does navigate well before getting to those crowds so, it doesn’t happen often. & if the Raiders have big dlinemen to keep him clean, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Here’s a quick highlight clip. I know highlights are the best to reference since anyone can look good in them but, you can still gather good info from them.

I like the kid from Texas Anthony Hill Jr but I doubt they draft a LB high with the recent free agent acquisitions.

Obviously guys may go sooner or later, you have your opinions, these are mine.

Round 3-
These guys would have to fall to us in round three as many will go round two

Christie Miller DT Georgia
Malachi Lawrence-Edge- UCF
Xzavier Harris DT Ole Miss
Jake Golday LB Cincinatti
Jack Rodriguez LB Texas
AJ Hauley S-LSU
Malik Muhammed CB Texas
Emmanual Pergnon G Oregon
Josiah Trotter-LB Missouri

These are guys I am pretty sure will be there

Kage Casey OT-Boise State
Dominique Orange DT Iowa State
Treydon Stukes DB Arizona
Jaishawn Barnham-Michigan (Reminds me a lot of Max in college)
Jalen Kilgore, CB South Carolina
Bud Clark-S TCU
Kyle Louis-LB Pitt
DeZaun Stribbling WR-Ole Miss
Ted Hurst WR-Georgia State
Connor Dunkin G-Iowa
Kenyon Crawford LB Auburn

Depending on our round two pick. If we go DT I think we will go Kage Casey. If we go OL, I think we go Dominique Orange. If we totally take those needs out of it I think we go Malik Muhammed. I would love Barnham as well.

4th Round

Hopefully some of the guys above fall to the 4th round. These are guys I am sure will be there in the 4th. We have three picks here although we may package them one or two of them to bump back up.

Gabe Jucas-DE Illinois
Keith Abey CB ASU
Genesis Smith S-Arizona
Bryce Lance WR NDSU
Romell Height-Edge Texas Tech
Daylen Everett -CB Georgia
Charles Demming CB Stephen F Austin
Jack Kelly LB BYU
Elijiah Surrat WR Indiana
Jalen Farmer-G Kentucky

I think we go Bryce Lance, Stribbing or Hurst with one of our 4th. Charles Demming and Bud Clark with the other two.

I really like this kid in the 4th round. 6'4" 200lbs with room to get bigger.

[MexicanHulk]

I like the kid from Texas Anthony Hill Jr but I doubt they draft a LB high with the recent free agent acquisitions.

I’m with you there too. Anothony Hill is another LB I would like but, depends on who’s there. If he falls to day three, that would be a great get in the 4th. There is a chance of that but, I think he goes round 3 &, again depending who’s there, I’d take him in the 3rd. I’m not sold on just Dean/Walker in the LB room. I like Lindenberg too but, don’t know if he’s developed & taken that step forward.

I love Kyle Louis as target also because it seems like he’s a for sure day three guy. Probably even falls to the 5th, due to his size. & he’s exactly what the Raiders need, which is an elite 1st/2nd level coverage defender. Along with being a good tackler, blitzer, & downhill missile. Dru Tranquil was one of fav LBs coming out because he was this type of player coverage wise at LB. I think Louis is a better version than him. But he had solid size at 6’2” 230lbs.

Louis’ player comp to me is JOK with the Browns.

Gabe Jucas-DE Illinois
Keith Abey CB ASU

Your round 3 guys, I think Miller, Haulcy &, Rodriguez go round almost for sure. Would love if they drop to 3 tho lol. Those three are favs of mine for sure. Well, not Miller. I like him but not love him atm. I still need to watch more tape on him. Cause I’m lower on him than most. So maybe I’m missing something. But Haulcy & Rodriguez are big favs of mine. Just don’t see LB at all in the 2nd. Maybe not 3rd either, unfortunately.

Harris I do like but man does he need to workout. His body is nasty. He’s flabby fat. But he does flash & have nice potential. Golday I like but, in the 3rd or 4th. Orange, Stukes, Clark, huge yes’ in the 3rd for me. Stukes I think should be a FS &, can be a star there. Clark I really like if no Haulcy or Stukes. Kilgore I really like on day 3. I thought his projection was lower like 5th-6th. I love him there. Louis I just posted about above. Love him. Hurst I like day 3. Not really before. With trade backs in the third, maybe.

Your 4th round guys you listed, haven’t watched all of them but so far, only like FS G.Smith. But man is his tackling a red flag. I mean, his center field coverage ability is top notch. If he could only be at least a tick below avg tackling, that’d set him over the top for me. To a 2nd round talent. Now if the rest of the team can make up for him in that area then, he’d be a great pick & player on the back end. That is the way to use him too so, it could work out.

Also, I’d add some of your 3rd round guys to day three. So there’s more day 3 guys of your list to really like.

& that’s all they would give up? I know this was done in fun & said, this is just a what if Raiders traded out of #1. But, moving down 5 spots &, only getting #24 &, a 3rd rounder?? The 3rd rounder isn’t even close to enough to move down five spots. & he only gives an extra 1st in this fake scenario?? Try three 1sts & two 2nds…to at least make this fake scenario some sort of realism lol

[KillerRaider30]

Since ot was proposed by the Browns at the owners meeting to trade more than 3 years worth of draft picks it might suggest thier starting point was 3 #1s plus.

I dreamed we traded our 2nd rounder for Garrett Wilson

How would you guys feel about moving up. The last 2 times we moved up in the 2nd we selected Mayer and Moehrig. Both worked out well.

I've said this from the beginning. I would personally trade back into the 1st round for Omar Cooper. The payoff would be worth the compensation.

Hunter is my gut pick at #36. Good chance he will be there.
